I wouldn't mind a moment of worry from Sherlock, though I think Sherlock angst needs to be a very very subtle thing. (As I said to a friend, to have angst, you have to have a modicum of self-doubt. Haha!) I imagine,though, that he'd have to be told that what he did was "not good"--at least from an emotional standpoint--because logically it was the right thing to do. That being said, I did write a story where Sherlock had a moment of angst before seeing John for the first time after Reichenbach...but it is kinda/sorta AU...so...
I completely agree with your estimation of John though. He really holds things in, both, I think, because he is understanding of Sherlock and because he just isn't much of a talker. Every once in a while he EXPLODES, and then he's all better. I guess I'd like to see a minor explosion when Sherlock returns. (whether of the decking or non-decking variety, I don't really care. Though I would like one canonical decking of Sherlock by John in the Series. I can imagine it, but I'd like to ACTUALLY SEE IT at least once--John's look of determination. Sherlock's dazed what just happened?!!??!?! IT WOULD BE AMAZING!) :-P
Should note that I now agree with my male friends as well. And I never thought that Watson would be in a snit for weeks. I just thought it was completely unrealistic that he is shocked and then says. YAY, you're back! And isn't quite hurt for a long while. It just had not occurred to me FOR YEARS that I was thinking like a girl. :-D
